BetKing accepts USSD deposits from all major Nigerian banks. Here are the exact codes for GTBank, Zenith, Access Bank, First Bank and UBA — deposit without Wi-Fi or mobile data.
USSD codes remain one of the most important deposit methods for Nigerian bettors. Not every bettor has reliable mobile data, and even those with data plans sometimes find network coverage unreliable during peak betting periods. BetKing USSD codes solve this by letting you fund your account directly from any phone — smartphone or basic handset — using nothing more than the bank USSD service linked to your registered number.
This guide lists every confirmed BetKing USSD code by bank, explains exactly how to dial each one, and covers the key rules that determine whether your deposit processes instantly. All codes below work with the mobile number registered to your BetKing account and your bank account respectively.
The GTBank USSD code for BetKing deposits is 73750[Amount]153#. Replace [Amount] with the naira amount you want to deposit — for example, dial 737502000153# to deposit ₦2,000. GTBank charges a ₦10 transaction fee for each USSD betting deposit. The minimum deposit via GTBank USSD is ₦50. Your phone number must be the one registered with your GTBank account and also the number linked to your BetKing profile.
After dialling, GTBank’s system will prompt you to confirm the transaction with your USSD PIN. Funds typically reach your BetKing wallet within two to five minutes. If the deposit does not appear after ten minutes, check your bank SMS to confirm the debit before contacting BetKing support — in most cases, the funds have left the bank and the delay is on the gateway side.
Zenith Bank customers can deposit to BetKing by dialling 9666*7842#. This accesses the Zenith Bank EazyBanking USSD service and routes the payment directly to BetKing’s collection account. Unlike GTBank, Zenith Bank does not charge a transaction fee for this service. The minimum deposit is ₦50.
After dialling, you will be prompted to enter the amount and confirm with your Zenith Bank USSD PIN. Zenith USSD deposits are generally among the fastest in the Nigerian market — most bettors see their BetKing balance update within one to three minutes of confirmation.
Access Bank customers use 426# to access the BetKing USSD deposit portal directly. Dial 426# from the mobile number registered to your Access Bank account, then follow the on-screen prompts to enter your BetKing user ID, deposit amount and confirm with your Access Bank USSD PIN. Alternatively, you can dial *901# to access Access Bank’s main USSD menu and navigate to the bills payment section to find betting deposit options.
The *426# shortcode is the most direct route for BetKing specifically. The minimum deposit is ₦50 and processing times are generally instant to five minutes.
First Bank customers deposit to BetKing using the code 89489400000[Amount]#, substituting [Amount] with the naira figure you wish to deposit. For example, to deposit ₦3,000, dial 894894000003000#. This uses First Bank’s FirstMonie USSD infrastructure and connects to BetKing’s registered merchant account. The minimum deposit is ₦50.
First Bank USSD deposits require confirmation via your FirstMonie PIN. Processing is usually within five minutes, though First Bank’s USSD network can experience congestion during weekend football kick-off windows — if your deposit delays, wait 15 minutes before querying.
UBA customers access BetKing deposits via *919#, which opens the UBA Magic Banking USSD service. After dialling, select the bills payment or third-party transfer option to route funds to BetKing. You will need your BetKing account number, which is visible in the deposit section of the BetKing website or app. UBA charges no additional fee for this service.
Fidelity Bank customers use 770# to access the Fidelity Bank USSD platform, then navigate to bills payment to make a BetKing deposit. Sterling Bank users can dial 822# for mobile banking access and follow similar steps. For smaller banks and fintech accounts, BetKing also accepts direct bank transfer to a unique virtual account number that can be generated within the deposit section of the platform — this works with any Nigerian bank that supports transfers.
A failed USSD deposit almost always falls into one of three categories. First, the phone number used does not match the one registered with the bank account. Both numbers — the one linked to your bank and the one on your BetKing account — must be the same. Second, the USSD network timed out before you completed the PIN entry. In this case, check your bank statement via SMS before re-attempting, to confirm whether the debit occurred. Third, the deposit went through but the BetKing wallet has not yet updated.
If your bank account was debited but BetKing shows no credit after 30 minutes, use the “Query Transaction” feature within BetKing’s help section or contact customer support via live chat. Provide the bank transaction reference and the amount — BetKing support can locate and manually credit confirmed payments. This is standard procedure and usually resolves within a few hours. For comparison, SportyBet users face similar delays: see our SportyBet USSD code guide for how that platform handles the same issue.
